Description
After several attempts to revive the franchise, Robert Wise's ST-TMP was released on a wave of prestige promotion, hype and public frenzy unheard for a film based on a television show. Controversy surrounded its troubled production and $44M budget, earning it a reputation at the time as the most expensive movie ever made. After a black-tie premiere in Washington, D.C., its opening in 856 North American theaters broke multiple box-office records-a harbinger of the modern blockbuster era. Despite instant financial success, the film was panned by critics, leaving this enterprise nowhere to boldly go but down.
